Law 101

December 27, 2016

My father was a strange man.

At least he appeared strange to me, until a certain age. He would appear strange to
you, if he was your father. Who knows, maybe your father is like my father. Maybe you
will be, maybe you are a father like my father. Then all this will not appear strange to
you.

Raised in poverty, as almost everybody in his time and nativity, only son, heir of very
great expectations for success. His father worked all his life with his hands, a poor
man. Saved money cent by cent, returned home to his village after economic exile. It
was a time when shoes were a big luxury. In fact, my father almost died at about 8
years of age from bad shoes, poorly processed dirty leather shoes.

He became a lawyer. He was extremely successful, especially after 40. It was until that
moment that I remembered him being a father. After that, he stepped into the wagon of
success. He had big clients, rich people. Hotels, companies, holding firms. He never re‐
ally did it for the money, his accumulated fortune at the time of his death was very
small. He did it for the fame. Success in itself was the means to an end, but also the
end itself. Fame meant he was successful.

It was strange. He did nothing for his family. He almost destroyed us all, a little more
and he would have utterly done it. He almost destroyed us all, did nothing for anyone
else except the companies, the hotels, the holding firms. Success at it’s best.

Law 101 – AeonReadings https://giorgossaridakis.wordpress.com/2016/1...
Our legal system is despicable. It is designed to culminate in a society of haves and
have-nots. It is a clog in a machine that crushes everything and everyone that doesn’t
have the means to pay in money, is not criminal enough to amass enough money. A big
lever in a system that manufactures directed misery, yet smiles in it’s majestic view of
‘justice’.

It treats the rich and the poor with the same standards, if they sleep under a bridge, if
they beg in the street or if they steal a loaf of bread. It plays the role of equilibrium, yet
it has pushed us into a vast dark age.

Our legal system is the end brick of success. All these judges, lawyers, firms, notaries,
authorities in their high positions, they are all successful. And they have a momentum,
very powerful in their success. They will never stop, trust me.

This was Law 101.

It’s maybe my father. I could speak about a mirror. Thank you for sharing.
